Geddy Lee is best known as the vocalist, bassist, and keyboard player
for the rock group Rush, which also features drummer Neil Peart and
guitarist Alex Lifeson. Rush is the most successful Canadian music group in
history, and is the third most prolific seller of consecutive
(American) Gold and Platinum Records and videos, behind only the
Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Lee's spectacular bass-playing ability
has earned him a reputation similar to that of his bandmates. All three
share the distinction of being among the most highly influential
virtuosos in their crafts. Geddy Lee is a natural overachiever when it
comes to the production and performance of his music. He is equally
well known for his wizard-like bass-playing ability as he his for his
magical juggling of bass, singing, playing keyboards, and triggering
his own pre-recorded accompaniments during live performances, all while
maintaining his trademark enthusiasm as Rush's "frontman". Geddy has,
in the past carried the dubious distinction of a hard-rocking, if
somewhat unnatural, high-pitched singing voice. This has matured over
the course of Geddy's career into a voice that is more widely accepted
outside of Rush's original core hard-rock following, and shines most
especially on recent Rush albums such as 2002's "Vapor Trails", and
Geddy's polished 2000 solo album, "My Favorite Headache". After their
longest break from recording and touring, A highly successful 2002 tour
brought Rush back to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, to the
great anticipation of fans. Rush ended their 2002 tour with their
first-ever shows in Brazil, where they played to 125,000 fans in three
nights. The final performance of the 2002 tour was captured on DVD as
Rush in Rio (2003), which was certified double-platinum within weeks of its
release. Geddy is the son of Polish parents who were survivors of the
Nazi concentration camps. In addition to his composing, arranging, and
performing duties for Rush, Geddy has produced albums for various other
bands, including Rocket Science.
